I am old enough to remember when the internet was cool.

Pop culture trivia expert, live music lover, sportsball fan, and hater of engagement farming.
I've been seeing claims that the Minecraft movie is the first "meme movie."

Those of us of a certain age know this in fact false, as the first real meme movie was of course SNAKES ON A PLANE.

Every single person went to that movie to shout along with "I have HAD IT with these muthaf*king snakes.."

I finished season 2 of the HBO reboot of Perry Mason just in time to find out that they canceled future seasons.

I'd still really recommend watching it, with the caveat that s2 was a lot stronger than s1.

Really cool recreation of old LA and the noir style and soundtrack are phenomenal.

Thinking about this gag in The Goonies where Mouth makes a bunch of drug references while pranking the non-English speaking new housekeeper.

It's crazy how 80s kids movies had so much adult content but treated kids with enough trust to either not get it or be able to handle it.

Highly recommend the awesome people at @sixthman.bsky.social - they do music cruises for a wide variety of genres and cultivate a great community of people!

We just got off the Andrew McMahon Holiday from Real Cruise with Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, The Academy Is, etc & it was amazing!
